This mug is very special since it is the 5 year anniversary special mug. Larger then our last mug's,and we took more risk then our last mug's.

This mug was based on 2 different pieces of Doug Horne art to create one mug.

We noticed the other events went more traditional this last year so we wanted to go more modern with a primitive edge.

Like the historic Tiki Bob Mug we wanted Traditional meeting the Jetsons.

The detail that Doug Horne drew out and John Mulder was able to deliver was not to be hidden in a thick glaze.

The first glaze we will try and we were planning this for 6 months would be this glaze that John Mulder used for this Mug I purchased from the Tura show at M Modern 6 months ago. I purchased it knowing that this was the test glaze of what i wanting to see in the Tiki Caliente 5 Mug. Several Glazes will be tried,but with the more cartoon style/rat back Mug I believe we will use a more traditional style glaze to show off the detail and make fit into your collection.

We just got home from Palm Springs...but thirsty for more! Lost In Paradise will be shooting an episode at Tiki Caliente 5 this year. If you see us and our moving picture devices, don't be shy. We'll be on the lookout for some good stories. Looking forward to being back at "The Curve" hotel. As their new slogan states, "Step Into The Fun". And what sort of kind of rhymes with fun....RUM! See you cats there!

We only have 10 rooms left for the host hotel "The Curve" 6 Double Queens/4 Kings.

If you are planning on being part of the action this May don't wait to book your on grounds package.
